Deutsch Begriff oder Satz: halbrechts
I'm not sure about this term. They're discussing hotel directions. Does it simply mean turn right or keep to the right perhaps? Here's the entire sentence "Dann vorher halbrechts abbiegen (Ampel an ehemaliger Tankstelle)." I'd be grateful if anyone could lend their expertise.
Aisling O'Callaghan
bear to the right (or bear off to the right)
Erklärung:
is what I'd say (NA English) to indicate that you don't continue straight ahead but also don't make a full right turn.

Zustimmung  Melanie Nassar: at some intersections, there's a choice between a hard right (90°) and half right turn

Zustimmung  Armorel Young: or turn half-right - I'm perfectly familiar with that as an English expression (and Wahrig says: halbrechts: zwischen rechts und geradeaus).

  -> genau, if you're moving northwards, a right turn will take you east; a half-right turn will take you north-east (and Stephen below will take you south-east)

I've seen/heard this used where there's a smaller street turning off immediately before a larger one.

Zustimmung  Claire Cox: Yes, bear's better than veer - although the dictionary definition of Veer doesn't incorporate any notion of sudden movement, just a turn or change in direction.

  -> The Oxford dico does define it as a sudden change in direction, but NA usage is probably slightly different. In any case I would consider it to suggest an uncontrolled or unplanned change in direction.
